The woman's pupils shrank when she saw the crossbow in Lolo's hand. "When did you take this out? Why didn't I see it?"
The woman was sure that she did not have this crossbow with her when she first met Lolo. She seemed to be acting casually along the way, but she kept one eye on the girl. She should not have had the chance to take out this crossbow.
"Stop guessing. I took this thing out from my backpack when you turned around to light the cigarette. I told you that kindness doesn't mean that you are defenseless." Lolo said calmly, "Now it's my turn to ask. You have smoked more than me, but why are you fine?"
The woman rolled her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking. However, the next moment, she saw the girl raise her arm and aim the crossbow at her heart. Under the threat of death, she finally surrendered and confessed everything. "When the roots of this thing are burned, it will produce a smell similar to tobacco. Breathing in this smell will make people lose their strength, but if you put a leaf in your mouth, you will not have this problem."
"Where are the leaves?"
The woman hesitated for a moment and took out a fresh red leaf from her pocket.
Lolo was unmoved. "Put one in your mouth first."
A look of struggle appeared on the woman's face. Finally, she took out another bag of black withered leaves from her chest and placed one in her mouth. After a while, after confirming that nothing had happened to the woman's body, Luo Luo took a leaf and placed it on her tongue.
In less than half a magic spell, she gradually regained all her strength.
"Don't kill me!" The woman begged in horror.
Putting herself in Lolo's shoes, she felt that if her identity was swapped with the girl's, the girl would not let her go. After all, she had lied to the girl and planned to kill her.
Moreover, the two of them had become enemies. No one would want to be on guard against an enemy's sneak attack in an unfamiliar environment. She did not even need to do it herself. As long as she told the others that the girl was an outsider, there would be no place for her in the entire underground world.
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Lolo raise the magic crossbow in her hand and said coldly, "Turn around."
The woman's tears and snot flowed out at the same time. In order to survive, she desperately begged the girl.
However, Luo Luo only repeated her words in a commanding tone with an expressionless face.
The woman finally lost all hope. She turned around and cursed the girl with the most vicious words. "What's the difference between what you did and what I did? Aren't you going to kill the innocent for your own benefit?!"
Lolo didn't answer. When the woman turned around, Lolo put away the magic crossbow in her hand and accurately slashed the woman's neck, knocking her out. After that, Lolo took off the woman's clothes, tore off a corner, and stuffed it into the woman's mouth. Lolo then took out a rope from her backpack and tied the woman up.
Lolo knew very well that the first thing the woman would do when she woke up would be to roll to the wall and find a sharp pebble to break the rope behind her. However, it would take two days for her to successfully escape. If everything went well by then, she should have found someone and returned to the surface with the little golem. Naturally, she wouldn't be threatened by the woman anymore.
After doing these things, Lolo thought for a while and put on the clothes that she had just taken off.
Although the woman was just trying to buy time, she did give her a lot of useful information. Lolo immediately realized that her previous clothes were a little too clean and tidy.
Such a dress was a little too eye-catching in the underground world, and it was easy to be targeted. It would be fine during normal times, but now was a sensitive time. The leader of the underground world named Odin was planning to conquer the surface.
The war was imminent, and the people here were more sensitive to outsiders.
Lolo didn't care about the war between the two worlds. Anyway, it didn't matter to her who won or lost. She just wanted to find her companions as soon as possible, so naturally, she had to avoid trouble as much as possible. After tying the woman up, she searched the stone cave again and made an unexpected discovery.
In addition to the strange roots that the woman used to make her lose her strength, she also found a piece of kraft paper under the round stone that was used as a table. On it was a map of the underground world drawn by the woman herself. In order to find food, the woman's range of activities was very wide. Except for some areas that were marked as dangerous, she had basically been to all of them. What made Lolo most happy was that she also found Carlisle's location on the map.
The girl didn't delay and immediately rushed to the place where Carlisle lived according to the directions on the map.
However, when she arrived there and sent a signal to Carlisle using the method that the woman had taught her earlier, after five minutes, only a stone statue came to her.
There was a note pasted on the head of the stone statue, which said, "Out for some business, please come back in a few days." It was signed by Carlisle.
When Lolo saw the note, she frowned. She did hear from the woman that although Carlisle would stay in his residence most of the time to do research, sometimes he would go out to treat patients. No, he must be at home all the time. Unfortunately, when she came, he was not at home.
Lolo had no other clues, so for the time being, she could only wait for Carlisle to come back. It had been nearly nine hours since she was teleported into the Grimm. There was no sunlight underground, so it was impossible to tell day from night. But according to the time outside, it was almost late at night. So, the girl ate some bread and cheese, found a small cave nearby, and took a nap to recover her strength.
Her previous experience had made her realize that this world was harsher and more dangerous than she had imagined. In this world, she had to be vigilant at all times and have enough strength to deal with all kinds of dangers. So even though she had been worried about Carlisle, she forced herself to rest for a while.
Lolo was woken up by the noise outside the cave. To ensure her safety, she blocked the entrance of the cave with a large rock before she went to bed. To ensure her safety, she would not be discovered by the two people outside the cave, and it was convenient for her to eavesdrop on their conversation.
The two people seemed to have come to see Carlisle, but they already knew that he was not at home. They were just waiting here in advance. But as the girl continued to listen, she was shocked. The two people said that Carlisle had caught two people from the surface not long ago, and one of them was very strange. He was a warrior, but he carried a golem with him. Carlisle suspected that they might be spies sent by the surface world, so he did not kill them directly, but chose to escort them to Odin.
